CVE-2026-58091
Description
The implementation of this ioctl attempts to acquire locks on all channels in a sync group. If locking a channel would block, it releases the sync group list lock and sleeps.

On a system with a multiple audio devices, an unprivileged local user can exploit this use-after-free to escalate privileges.
